A professional Youtuber, a self-proclaimed party girl, a superfan and Toronto socialite are just some of the colourful contestants that make up the inaugural cast of Big Brother Canada.

After an exhaustive cross Canada search which saw over 10,000 Canadians audition, Shaw media revealed the 15 contestants who are set to move in to the Big Brother Canada house to compete for the grand prize of $100,000, a $25,000 gift card to The Brick and a brand new Chevrolet Trax

“We were so overwhelmed by the number of outstanding applicants for Big Brother Canada that narrowing it down to 15 houseguests was no easy task,” Barbara Williams, Shaw’s Senior Vice President of Content said.

“You can be sure that bringing together this diverse cast of characters from all across the country is going to make for some interesting storylines and twists along the way and we can’t wait to see how the season plays out.”
